Piccoli’s goal was amazing. Calling it a foul is corruption of the sport. There needs to be an explanation from the league and suspensions/a revamp of the law. The sport suffers from this kind of catastrophe. Nobody agrees or likes this horseshit. Soft as fuck & a total mis-use of VAR. I am extremely disappointed in the league & what was a wonderful game is tarnished.
The current rules & abuses by VAR are bullshit & professionals will tell you so. It’s taking away the spirit of the game and introducing this subjective magnification that plays with human emotion because things happening in slow motion appear more dramatic. Soft - the VAR needs to be rethought.
No. The referee didn’t call the foul in real time. Thiaw wasn’t even asking for the foul. It’s corruption plain and simple. If they applied the same standards to defenders during the game we’d have penalties & free kicks galore. I don’t care if the refs followed whatever stupid law/guidelines they have - it is ripe for corruption as just witnessed & it needs to be changed before we kill the sport. With the amount of betting going on I wouldn’t be surprised if outside influences are starting to see the weaknesses in the league and areas like this where one can exploit outcome via VAR
